Working Time Directive Taskforce

Info

In October 2013, Professor Norman Williams, President of the Royal College of Surgeons, was asked to chair an independent taskforce on the implementation of the Working Time Directive and its impact on the NHS and health professionals. The independent taskforce included representation from across the medical profession. It reviewed the evidence on the effect of the regulations on the delivery of patient care and the training of doctors. The final report of the taskforce was delivered to the Secretary of State for Health on 3 April 2014.
